+ # onclick handler.
+ #
+ # The first argument +name+ is used as the button's value or display text.
+ #
+ # The next arguments are optional and may include the javascript function definition and a hash of html_options.
+ #
+ # The +function+ argument can be omitted in favor of an +update_page+
+ # block, which evaluates to a string when the template is rendered

+ #
+ # Note: if you choose to specify the javascript function in a block, but would like to pass html_options, set the +function+ parameter to nil
+ #
+ # Examples:
+ # button_to_function "Greeting", "alert('Hello world!')"
+ # button_to_function "Delete", "if (confirm('Really?')) do_delete()"
